St. Charles third and sixth grade are working together on a project to hatch 15 chicken eggs. The classes have been taking turns turning the eggs daily, a task that is usually done by the mother hen. They have also worked together to create a board with models showing the chick development inside the egg from day 1 to hatching . We have been anxiously awaiting the new arrivals. Well, they starting hatching on April 13 and all were hatched by April 14.Enjoy the photos of the baby chicks.Our new chicks were named by each of the grades, Father Victor, and the school staff.
